I was generally happy in Bath and all the facilities. I stayed in the YMCA & the Backpackers hostel and was impressed with both. I have also been to the Bath Univiersity & think very highly of the Uni & all it has to offer. I was not happy with the rude & unfriendly bus drivers...more I was generally happy in Bath and all the facilities. I stayed in the YMCA & the Backpackers hostel and was impressed with both.

Take the free walking tour of the city. It's free and they do a great job. The Abby is also free. the old Roman Bath tour is great and worth the money. Stay away from the Moraccan Restaurent.

Bath is a nice town with a couple of interesting things to see. But it definitively does not deserve the publicity it gets. And £11 for the roman baths is a rip off.

Other great stuff is doable as day trips but does take time.close

What a fantastic place. Even with the hoards of tourists, it is a beautiful town, nestled around the Avon River. The roman baths are well worth a visit, but give yourself plenty of time, becasue there is plenty to look at - and don't forget to take the audio guide. It gives a great insight to Roman culture in roman Britain as well as the history of the baths over the centuries that followed. But don't just stick to the main tourist sights - take a good pair of walking shoes and strike out on foot. There are lots of grat spots to explore and beautiful vistas to discover away from the town centre - and you'll get a great cardio workout at the same time! For an insight into life of the upper class in Georgian England I'd recommend visiting No 1 The Royal Crescent. It's beautifully restored and the volunteer guides are a mine of information. For the foodies there are a great collection of artisan bakeries and delis, as well as Brisitsh Pubs and tea shops. Also pop into Sally Lunn'sat 4 North Parade Passage. There is a large menu, but for the authentic sally lunn bun, have it served with either cinnamon or brandy butter. Also check out the original bakery in the basement museum.close

Bath is a very beautiful town. You can feel the history as you walk around and for a place so small, there's far too much to do for a simple day trip. We sat in a bar and ended up quickly falling in to conversation with the locals around us. They were friendly and easygoing, making a quick stop...more Bath is a very beautiful town. You can feel the history as you walk around and for a place so small, there's far too much to do for a simple day trip. We sat in a bar and ended up quickly falling in to conversation with the locals around us. They were friendly and easygoing, making a quick stop for a pint last nearly a couple of hours. It's beautiful day or night, and a must-see for anyone who's planning a trip to Englandclose

  1. Roban House 83%      

    Fifteen minute walk to the Roman Baths and Abbey, warmly decorated and very clean rooms, and the hostess even gave us a couple of DVDs to watch

    Breakfast was great. House is quite a long walk from the centre of Bath and the railway station, so if you have really heavy suitcases, a taxi might be a better option.

  2. St Christopher’s Inn 81%      

    This place is old and grotty (but one staff member told me they plan to renovate it soon). There was loud noise from the pub downstairs until 1am most nights and the breakfast was basic. The showers were horrible and you couldn't adjust the temperature of the water. The door to our dorm didn't...

  4. YHA Bath 77%      

    Although out of the way from the city, this was a nice place to spend a night. If the weather is nice, make sure you walk into town via the "scenic" route -- it is a delightful stroll with a great view of the city of bath! Coming back in the evening for us was not as fun though, as Bath's bus...

    Loved this YHA, one the the nicest ones i've stayed in (despite the very steep hill climb) and definitely heaps of character. Definately would, and already have, recommended it.

  5. University of Bath 73%      

    I had an ensuite room which was comfortable enough, but it was a real pain getting there. Once you get to the campus, there is no sign pointing the way to the office, which I only found after 15 minutes wandering around campus. Bus service into town is actually quite regular, and I never had to...

    It was a bit difficult finding where to check-in and the staff was not great about helping you find your room. It is also a fairly long bus ride to the centre. If you are staying for a longer time and really want quite and privacy this is a great place. If you want to party and be close to...

    We were advised at check-in our room rate included breakfast, however when we actually sat down to breakfast and had already started eating we then advised breakfast would be £5 per person. The hotel would not honour their initial confirmation of breakfast being included and charged us...

    If you book through Hostelworld the breakfast is not included even if they tell you it is. You also have to pay to use Spa and swimming pool
